Hint: Williamson's synthesis reaction is used to make an ether.

A. On treating phenol with chloroform in the presence of NaOH, an aldehydic group is introduced at the ortho position of the benzene ring. The reaction is as follows:

B. In Kolbe’s reaction, 2-hydroxy benzoic acid (salicylic acid) is prepared by the reaction of phenol with ${CO}_{2}$ gas.

SOLVED] Explain Kolbe's reaction with an equation.

C. When a 2° alcohol is allowed to pass overheated copper at 573 K, dehydrogenation takes place and a ketone is formed.

$R - CH - R' \to_{573 K}^{Cu} R - C - R$
$I$ $∥$
$OH$ $O$

D. Williamson synthesis is an important method for the preparation of ethers. In this method, an alkyl halide is allowed to react with sodium alkoxide.

R—X +R—ONa $\to$ ROR + NaX
